About this property

Cozy 1 Bedroom Cottage

The Bird's Nest is owned and operated by the owners of Shalestone Vineyards. Located in a community lake shore neighborhood just below the vineyard.

The deep ravine and active stream on the north side provides privacy and a soothing sound. There is a rental across the ravine so it's not completely isolated as to sound. On the south side of the cottage there is a family home and they are very respectful as to being noisy neighbors. Generally the neighborhood is quite during the week and a little more active on weekends at certain times of the year. If your looking for complete isolation this isn't the place for you.

This renovated cottage has a cathedral ceiling spanned by a large cherry log and accented with Stag Horn Sumac branches. All the woodworking is made from trees harvested from the property, (red cedar and white oak)
The kitchen cabinets are made from wine barrels.

The queen size bed has a 3' memory foam top and faces a large window overlooking the lake. Lounge in bed and listen to the lapping waves or catch the morning sunrise on the opposite shore.

A large deck runs along the entire lake side of the cottage and has a partial roof for sun/rain protection and is private from the cottages on either side.

The 75 feet of beach is shared with the owners as is the. 60 ft dock.
1 minute walk down the stairs to the beach or drive down for unloading kayaks, coolers or a small boat trailer. We highly suggest that guests have “AWD or 4WD” if driving down to the beach. Fire pit, depending on the supply and the season there is wood but it’s best to bring your own wood. It can also be purchased from several roadside stands Umbrella and chairs provided. RESPECTING OUR GUEST PRIVACY, owners would not be using the beach in the evening with the exception of loading or returning their boat to the lift.

Small pets are acceptable, but only with owners approval. $100 fee for cleaning and waste removal. Non refundable.

Reservations made using foreign currency, renter is responsible for exchange fee and must notify owner before making deposit.

Cozy indeed

Great location Among the vineyards on the east side of Seneca Lake. When we first arrived, it smelled odd inside, but after airing it out, the odor faded perhaps nobody had stayed there for a while, and we couldn’t figure out if it was old cigarette smoke or some dampness. As said by others, the outside deck was fabulous. There was a nice new dock to swim off of the roadway, Below and Lakeside was full of junkie stuff the neighbors kept, but this cottage itself was nicely kept by the water as well as inside. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and spent most of the time on the upper deck. The bed was comfortable And the kitchen well stocked. Would recommend to a friend.

Gorgeous views

The cottage is so clean and so beautiful! The woodwork is amazing. We were so relaxed sitting on the deck with our morning coffee and watching the sunset in the evening. The only problem I had was navigating the steps down to the beach, and that was only because I had sprained my ankle 2 weeks prior.

Stunning views of Seneca Lake

My husband and I spent a really enjoyable week in the Bird’s Nest. The views of Seneca Lake are great from the partially covered back deck as well as from the large dock, which has comfortable seating to view the sunsets. We would definitely stay here again. The one possible drawback for some travelers might be that the cottage is about a mile drive down a gravel roadway, so if you’re someone who likes to pop into your rental throughout the day, this might not be the best option for you. The slow drive is through vineyards, though, so it is very scenic! The owners of this rental also own Shalestone Vineyards, and if you like dry red wine, make a reservation for a tasting. You will not be disappointed!

Beautiful as described house. Think of a "tiny house". It was perfect for the two of us and our dog. The deck, the dock, the lake, the views..every thing was perfect! Only complaint..we needed more time! Thank you Kate for answering all our dumb questions so fast! See you again..soon!

Great location and view, could've been cleaner

Location and view are great. Cozy cottage and private dock were wonderful for a relaxing weekend. However, upon arrival there were many live stink bugs, woodland roaches and ants that needed to be cleaned up. They were mostly hiding in the blinds of the sliding door and once we figured that out we got all of them. I understand having occasional bugs in a wooded area but this seemed more like the cabin hadn't been cleaned prior to our arrival because the rest of our stay we didn't see any bugs. The bedroom and bathroom seemed reasonably clean, just dusty.

Great stay at Seneca Lake

This was a great find right on Seneca Lake. It was a great location for getting to Watkins Glen, the Seneca Lake wine trail and other spots in the finger lakes region. The cottage was very comfortable and cute and with access to the beach by the water. The firepit and dock were great for relaxing by the water. We did some closeby waterfall hikes and visited a few winery/breweries. Would definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous Fall Foliage

The Bird's Nest was a perfect place to hang out in October this year. The view from the porch overlooking the lake and trees was magnificent. The cabin was well equiped with everything we needed. The woodwork and rustic touches made it a fun place to stay. Kate even opened the winery on a closed day so we could bring some "reds" back to IL. So glad we found this place.

Beautiful view!

The Bird's Nest is cozy and comfortable- the deck and the view of Seneca Lake are just wonderful! Rob and Kate were very helpful and friendly, she even went out of her way to mail a personal belonging of mine that I had left behind. So much to do and see in the area, we highly recommend this cottage get-a-way.

Bird’s Nest

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bird’s Nest. Just the right space for two. The view from the deck and living area are beautiful. Great spot to watch the sunset. Bed was comfortable with plenty of blankets and towels in the bathroom. There isn’t an oven, but we didn’t plan on cooking so it wasn’t as problem. There is a toaster oven available. We’d definitely come back for another stay.

A great place for a quiet time away

We loved this property! While it is small, it had everything we needed and the home is lovely. It was easy to communicate with Kate for any information. The covered porch is great- we were still able to be outside even though it was sprinkling. It's very relaxing and the neighborhood was pretty quiet.

Beautiful Stay on the lake

Overall this place was awesome. ! I wish I had found it for my other trips to the area. The house was well designed and had just enough space. It was unique and charming. The deck was great with a view of the lake and a beach to enjoy it really close. Kate was fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed she communicated when we needed it and was quick to respond to questions. I hope to stay here again soon!
